It's not necessarily different. The point I was trying to make wasn't
that. It was that I don't have any current knowledge of this dlopen
stuff, and it seems to me (judging from all the comments) that I
shouldn't release code in Exim that makes any use of it until I do
understand it more, because there appear to be tricky and important
issues.
